The Problem We Solve for DevOps Teams
Modern engineering organizations face a growing crisis of secrets sprawl: hardcoded credentials in source code, unmanaged service accounts, secrets embedded in CI/CD pipelines, and machine identities that proliferate across containers and cloud environments with no governance. KeeperPAM with Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) eliminate these risks by giving DevOps and platform engineering teams a zero-knowledge platform that integrates natively into the tools and workflows they already use like Jenkins, Kubernetes, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and more.
As a Sales Engineer, DevOps, you will be the technical voice that helps engineering leaders and security teams understand and solve these problems with Keeper.

You will provide product trials and evaluations to Keeper Security partners, assist with implementation and integration, and provide level-2 technical assistance to existing customers.
In addition, you will serve as a DevOps subject matter expert and work with customers to understand and secure their development environments, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure and automated workflows.
